Red Sox Settle for Preseason Tie, 4-4, with Yankees

I know I said we weren't going to cover preseason baseball here, and generally speaking, we won't. But when the Boston Red Sox play the New York Yankees, even if it's a split-quad practice game, we're going to notice. All the more when the game results in a tie. 

New York took a 2-0 lead in the 4th, but Masataka Yoshida hit a two-run homer to deep right in the top of the 6th and tied the game.  New York scored two more runs in the bottom of the inning, and a Roman Anthony RBI single in the 7th and a Rob Refsnyder sac fly in the 8th tied it all up again. Neither team scored in the 9th, and they don't play extra innings in preseason practice games.

As long as we're taking this little peek at preseason baseball, the Sox are currently in second place in Grapefruit League play with a 13-9 record. The Yankees (11-11) are at 7th.

Finally, for the very first time on Sweat Dissolves Water, let us say finally say it -  Yankees suck!
